Beyond the perilous landscape lies a love that defies extinction. . . .
In the bustling world of paleontology in 1916, Eliza Mills defies societal expectations to pursue her passion. Having published her early groundbreaking papers under a false name, she has finally earned her place at the Carnegie Museum and seizes the opportunity to work at Dinosaur National Monument with a renowned paleontologist. But things in Jensen, Utah, aren't what they appear. When Eliza gets the chance to dig up bones at a ranch with a dark history, it sparks a chain of events that will rock the very fabric of her carefully constructed world.
Devin Schmitt, Eliza's closest friend since childhood, harbors unspoken feelings for her but knows he will never be able to win her heart. Just as he vows to give her up for good, Eliza begs him to visit her in Utah for another grand adventure. He reluctantly agrees, and within a few days of his arrival, he and Eliza find themselves entangled in a web of danger where the stakes are much higher than they ever anticipated. Together, Devin and Eliza must hold on to God as their hope as they navigate a treacherous terrain of betrayal to unbury the truth and save Eliza from those who wish to see her fail.

Marilyn's thoughts: What could be better than Kimberley
Woodhouse penning another great read that included more writings of Earl
Douglas with his work at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh and the early
beginnings of the Dinosaur National Monument. A Hope Unburied set in 1916 will
give readers an insight into the struggles of women in paleontology, greed of
men during the Bone Wars and how lives were changed when God became their
focus.
Eliza’s and Devin’s story grew from their
early days as friends to years later when Devin was asked to go to Utah to
visit Eliza as she worked at the DNM for the summer. Their social class was
different, but their friendship never wavered, even with promises made by
different individuals. But who’s the real villains behind trying to bring
Eliza’s work to an end and take the credits for discoveries? The intrigue,
historical events, mystery and growth of the fictional characters in their
faith and romance made this one amazing read.
I received an early copy of this book
without any obligation to write a positive review. I have shared my own
thoughts.
